Yeah it works on NA now

Map is better than I thought. Look greater in real too! Good map!

I think you should look to add a base in the middle (one for each player). As zerg, I feel like it miss one base for the map dimensions. Top and bottom bases looks impossible to hold as zerg without mass spine/spore into it (too much narrow around it to surround Terran and Protoss mid-late game). Personally, I was not able to take those bases. Maybe it's me.

Distances and design are fine! I will play more game on it.
Good Job!

Not knowledgeable enough about map making, or good enough at the game to give any gameplay suggestions (seems fun to play on though), but the map looks fantastic, both from above and when played.

@PandaZerg - thanks for testing! If you cut through the middle high grounds, you might be able to flank and surround an army at the wider area in between the high ground and the last base.

BTW, do you have replays?

I'd love to know how the map feels from the other players perspective in matchups vs zergs.

I thought a good idea would be to bring top and bottom bases nearest of each side and just enlarge a little bit the entrance.
The map is also awesome like this too.

Or, at the bottom of left middle high ground between both ramp and at the top of right middle high ground between both ramps. But I think first idea would be better.

It's just personal suggestions. Before changing anything, I thing you should wait to get more feedback. I don't have interesting replay on it yet. I won an easy game and lost 2 against players. Otherwise, I did some game with AI to test how it would be easy to hold all bases in later game vs Protoss and Terran. Nothing very serious.

Good luck for MotM final

Its great with feedback, regardless of how subjective it might be This is hard to understand, though. Could you draw a picture or something?

TPW Silver Sands will be featured on IPLtv at at 3pm PST (in 18 min -> 22:00 GMT (+00:00) ).

The show is called Cartographer and will be aired every tuesday by DoA. It's also rebroadcasted 02:30 GMT (+00:00) I think.

I've only played a few games on this map but I find that it is very hard to hold my third as Zerg versus Terran

I like the sand theme

But honestly, I think you did a good job on the textures and the overall aesthetics and that gives your map something extra, next to proper map mechanics.

Fun watching some games on cartographer! Did they contact you about the show?

I never noticed the doodads you added to the XWTs, the little feet; that looks cool. ^^

Yay for maps getting slightly more exposure.

Published on EU in Arcade - Strategy as TPW Silver Sands

I also made a few aesthetic tweaks because of new lighting and fixed a small pathing bug (I'm pretty sure the pre-patch version of the editor did not display it)

On NA it's published as melee atm, without the small tweaks.

Read more about the choice of Arcade - Strategy for melee maps in this thread:
